 Uristalis pac/ii/merus, AViedeui., Zool. Mag. iii. p. 17. 



Three females from Fort Johnston, Nyasaland [Rendall), 

 and Barberton (Rendall). 



Eristalis assimilis, Walker, List Dipt. pt. iii. p. 611 (1849). 

 Eristalis capita, Loew, Dipt. Siidafi-ik. p. 321. 



Five males from Pretoria [W. L. D.) and one male and 

 one female from Fort Johnston, ^Jyasaland {Rendall). 



These are exaetly similar to Walker^'s type, and also agree 

 exactly with the description of E. capito given by Loew, 

 placed in his Div. I. gronp b [Megasjns) . Walker's name 

 must therefore take precedence, but Loew^s description will 

 hold good. 



Eristalis curtus, Loew, Dipt. SUdafrik. p. 319 (1860). 



Two males and four females from Pretoria [W. L. D.) ; 

 one male and one female from Fort Johnston, Nyasaland

Three females from Barberton {Rendall) and Pretoria 

 {W.L.D.). 



Loew pointed out that E. (Bgyptius, Wlk., is identical with 

 this species, and I believe the same to be the case with 

 E. torridus, ^Vlk., on comparing the type in the British 

 Museum Collection.
